From the article:
Fucking hell
Literally see nothing wrong with this. This is amazing. Instead of bullshit memorization they now have the ability to show their research skills and utilize outside resources. We’ve been saying for years that testing should be improved this way. In “the real world,” you’re not going to have to memorize literally everything, like schools expect.
How is this a bad thing? Because it was made for women? Who cares, genuinely?
The article states “students can,” not just “female students can,” so it doesn’t look like it’s for women only.
No its a bad thing because doing it at home increases the risk of cheating significantly
The whole point of these tests is to test research skills. Is writing essays cheating? There are SO MANY tools for teachers to test plagiarism, that stuff really isn’t that much of an issue for a good, hell, mediocre teacher.
Its not “amazing” its changing the education system to benefit specifically women. Its been done in secondary school and A Levels and as we can see its moving into University. Its bullshit, why aren’t men allowed to be marginally better at some things than women without everyone having to jump up and change everything? I would dislike it if they changed a subject in which women do better just to benefit men too.
I don’t want to be in a society where people see me succeeding and think “oh she’s only doing well because they changed the system for her.”
Its not too much to ask to just want to compete fairly with men.
Meanwhile women are already doing better at every level of education than men but clearly we need to keep stacking the deck.
